RE: Kostyan
Well the largest recorded PKs deserve it as well, I think. This is roughly based on PBF and discussions. The idea is to place it before the Gates to the Imperial city.
A rough basalt boulder is positioned on a postament right behind the gates. Half of it is roughly carved into a shape of an armored dark-elf rushing forward, towards the gates as if trying to intercept those who enter. THe roughness of the carving and the uncut space behind the figure create impression of a great speed as if he is trying to dash out of the stone. The face is about the only part of the statue that is cut out with great attention to details. Thanks to this otherwise unremarkable face of a statue is distorted by what is obviously a contempt towards those he is rushing to. As if a testament to this emotion on his face, the warrior is depicted when throwing his weapons down. The right arm is dropped down, relaxed, as the dagger starts slipping from it, while the left hand is already empty and is frozen in the moment of becoming clenched. The warrior seems to be so confident of his power and disdaining those around him that he is going to deal with the enemies with his bare hands.
A bronze plaque below the statue states: "In the memory of Kostyan Ahgroh the Stygian Juggernaut, a merciless scourge to countless enemies of the Empire and merciless protector of its countless citizens"
